The Last Of the Dragon Witches (Prinxiety)

5

Virgil looked up at his offender seeing no more than a silhouette thanks to the sun shining behind his back. When he felt the blade push upwards even more he started to slowly get up, keeping his arms in the air as to show the stranger that he meant no harm.

"Nyx, hide over the trees, someone has my knife, I will cast a spell so they won't be able to see or hear you." He sent through the mind link as he mentally casted the spell not waiting for an answer.

"Bitch don't even think about it, I'm not about to leave you alone with this moron over here!"

"That was not a request Nyx. Now go, I've already casted the spell there is nothing you can do."

With that said he heard her groan, but felt the mind link get weaker, meaning that she did in fact listen to him.

"Now," the stranger started, pushing the point of the knife more in his neck, slightly drawing blood before making him back up slowly, "I will only ask you this one time."

By the time he finished the sentence they were back in the clearing and Virgil could hear Roman gasping quietly.

"Where. Is-"

"Kiddo! There you are!" Said a cheery voice suddenly, interrupting the guy and making the Dragon-Witch try to shoot a glance behind him.

There was "humpf" sound followed by the sound of two bodies colliding with each other.

"Patton, you ruined it! I was so close to get him to talk!" The offender said without lowering the knife and rolling his eyes.

"Patton?! Logan?! What are you guys doing here?!" Virgil heard Roman ask, but he was never able to hear the answer.

With an ear-splitting roar, Nyx came down from the trees, using her tail to snatch her owner away.

She landed only a few feet away from the others, hiding the dragon witch behind her as she glared daggers at everyone, growling.

"I thought I told you to stay hidden!" Virgil growled through the mind link, glaring at his dragon.

"And I thought I told you I was not about to leave you alone with this moron!" She replied, snapping her teeth back at him.

Nyx saw the three jump back in fright as she landed and she smirked wolfishly seeing the fear in their eyes.

She scanned the one holding the weapon now towards her, his light gray eyes glaring towards her hidden behind thick black framed glasses; it was clear that he was trying to look tough despite the disheveled hair and dirty clothes, but his trembling hands gave his fear away.

Then her scrutinizing glare turned to the other one, hiding behind Roman and holding tightly on the sleeves of the jumper tied around his shoulder, and to her surprise she noticed he did not look scared in the slightest.

In fact, Patton's eyes slowly got wider and wider, a small twinkle of excitement shining in his bright blue irises as he gasped looking at Nyx, leaving the dragon and everyone around him shocked.

The creature let out a loud growl trying to look threatening but she was so confused it almost sounded like a question.

"Oh my Gosh! She's so big and cute! Her scales are so pretty! Can I pet her please?" He squealed jumping up and down, a blonde curl falling in front of his glasses.

Silence fell around them as everyone turned around to look at Patton shocked, even Virgil took the risk of peeking around the dragon to shoot a surprised look towards him.

"I like him. Can we keep him? Please? He's way nicer than his Highnass over there." Nyx said, breaking the silence and turning back towards the dragon witch, who was now slowly starting to come out of his hiding spot.

Immediately Logan pointed the knife back towards him, making the guy jump back in fright and Nyx go back to her fighting stance growling.

Roman rolled his eyes, "Logan, put the knife down, he's the one who saved me." He said putting a hand on the guy's wrist and forcing it down. He let him, looking at him confused.

"So he-he is not the one who attacked you?"

The prince shook his head.

"He saved my life, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him."

Virgil started to come out again, stopping only when he was in front of Nyx, awkwardly shifting from one foot to the other, looking down embarrassed. He waved slightly with his hand as he felt everyone's eyes on him.

Suddenly he felt arms wrap around him, making him jump and tense up immediately not knowing what to do. He looked at Nyx, asking for help, but the dragon did nothing but shrug.

"Traitor" He hissed through the mind-link.

"Thank you kiddo for helping Roman, even if you didn't have to." Patton said softly, hugging him closer.

Virgil gently put his arms around him, trying to awkwardly hug him back, despite not having done anything like that since when he was four.

"Also, ignore Logie, it's difficult for him to trust new people and he can be a real buzzkill, but he really just means well."

Virgil nodded. They held each other for a few more seconds before Patton let go, holding the Dragon-witch in front of him with his hands on his shoulders and looking at him with a very serious gaze.

"But now I have to ask you a really important question that could either make me love you or make me slightly angry at you." He started, his voice low and grave.

Virgil looks around nervously, shifting slightly as he nodded, signaling to the cheery guy that he was listening.

"Can I pet your dragon?"

This is definitely not my best and it's also not even a thousand words, but I'm really tired for some reason and this is probably the best I could do! I really hope you guy like it anyway!

I'm sorry for scaring you with the knife thing, it was just Logan but don't worry things are gonna get interesting for this point on!
